RAI 3.0.3-9a

Background

The response to RAI 3.0.3-9 dated December 2,' 2016, states the following changes to the "acceptance criteria" and "corrective actions" program elements of the Fire Water System Program and Periodic Surveillance and Preventive Maintenance Program:

a. Additional wall thickness measurements will be conducted when degraded conditions are detected:

b. "[i]n addition to the above, for areas of piping that are found degraded and returned to service, the remaining service life will be calculated and the piping will be re-examined prior to the end of calculated life."

c. "[i]n addition, Entergy will revise the IPEC Fire Water System Program procedures to specify that when individual piping segments are found with multiple leaks or degraded areas that align to indicate selective seam corrosion, then corrective action will be taken to replace the affected piping segment."

By letter dated July 25, 2016, the staff submitted RAI 3.0.3-9. In this RAI, the staff noted September 30, 2003, and December 29, 2014, leaks in the fire protection-water system that resulted in the affected header being out of service for multiple hours.

In regard to bullets (a) and (b), as demonstrated with the two events where leakage resulted in the fire water header being removed from service, use of a service life calculation based on structural integrity might not be adequate to provide reasonable assurance that future leaks will not result in a loss of intended function. During a supplemental audit conducted on February 23-25, 2016, the staff reviewed several of the applicant's calculations associated with wall thickness measurements of the fire protection-water system. The staff conducted an independent projection of corrosion rates and compared the result to structural integrity requirements.* It would appear that structural integrity requirements would have been met in the days preceding the two events. The staff reiterated this point during a public meeting conducted on October 4, 2016. The meeting summary states:

Regarding the additional inspections, the NRC staff asked Entergy what the acceptance criteria [for wall thickness measurements] would be. Entergy stated that the degradation would be evaluated by performing a calculation to determine the remaining useful life for the piping relative to structural integrity. The staff stated that acceptance criteria for structural integrity does not address future

/

NL-17-052 Docket Nos. 50-247 and 50-286 Attachment 1 Page 2 of 16 leaks, as discussed during the staff's February audit regarding a fire water system leak.

In regard to bullet (c), the staff lacks sufficient information to confirm that the additional corrective action,~"when individual piping segments are found [in the fire protection-water system] with multiple leaks or degraded areas that align to indicate selective seam corrosion ... " is sufficient to encompass all future potentially degraded configurations. A single leak could result in the need to remove the header from service for repairs. Also, the additional criterion is not applicable to the city water system, which is constructed of a similar material, exposed to the same environment, and has experienced multiple leak!:!.

In regard to bullets (b) and (c), as stated with the leak that occurred on September 10, 2003, "[t]he rate of discharge and potential for runoff to adjacent safety-related equipment areas mandated that the fire water supply system be secured ... " at least one fire water system leak had the potential for a nonsafety-related component to affect the function of safety-related components. No basis was provided for why piping segments with multiple leaks or degraded areas are acceptable to be returned to service without evaluating the potential effect on the intended function of the system, or safety-related components or systems in the vicinity of the leak.

In summary, if it is demonstrated that structural integrity requirements would have been met in the days preceding the leaks, the staff lacks sufficient information to conclude that the proposed acceptance criteria and corrective actions associated with recurring internal corrosion (RIC) in the fire protection-water system and city water system will be adequate to: (a) provide reasonable assurance that the systems will meet their intended function and (b) that failure of one of the systems will not impact the intended function of a safety-related component or system. For example the "acceptance criteria" and "corrective actions" program elements should discuss:

• Acceptance criteria for the maximum size pit or general corrosion that would be accepted as well as the acceptable proximity for multiple pits or multiple regions of general corrosion beyond the acceptance criteria.

• Physical compensatory actions (e.g., leak limiting device) that will be implemented until repairs can be completed, including: (a) how the need for the extent (i.e., axial length) of the physical compensatory actions will be determined; (b) timing of installation of the physical compensatory actions; and (c) follow-up inspections that will be conducted during the time period prior to the repair of the piping.

Request

1. Provide a summary of the results (e.g., wall thickness measurements, required wall thickness) that would or would not support a conclusion that the degradation of the piping associated with the September 30, 2003, and December 29, 2014, leaks in the fire protection-water system would have met structural integrity requirements in the days preceding the leak.

NL-17-052 Docket Nos. 50-247 and 50-286 Attachment 1 Page 3 of 16

Response

September 10. 2003 event (CR-IP2-2003-05642)

UT readings were taken following this event. The nominal pipe thickness is 0.280", with a minimum allowable thickness of 87.5%, or 0.245". With the exception of the region surrounding the flaw at the leak location, the measured wall thickness was ~0.245".

Based on these results, combined with a structural calculation addressing the character of the piping flaw and expected growth rate, it was determined that the as-found piping segment was acceptably robust for short-term (30 days) service (with a repair clamp installed at the flaw location), pending replacement.

December 29. 2014 event (CR-IP2-2014-06668)

No UT readings were documented following this event. The affected piping segment was replaced prior to returning the system to service. However, UT readings taken on the affected piping segment in 2008, in response to a pinhole leak, indicated ~87.5%

remaining wall thickness at that time. The nominal pipe thickness is 0.365", with a minimum allowable thickness of 87.5%, or 0.319". At all locations, but the reported leak location, the measured wall thickness was ~0.319".

Based on the measured wall thickness, Indian Point Energy Center (IPEC) concluded that the affected piping segments were sufficiently structurally robust to support a conclusion of sustained~pressure boundary integrity going forward following the 2008 pinhole leak.

Request

2. If it is demonstrated that structural integrity requirements would have been met in the days preceding the leaks: * -

~

a. State the basis for why the proposed acceptance criteria and corrective actions for RIC in the fire protection water system and city water systems are adequate. *

Response

The established acceptance criteria and the implemented corrective actions were deemed adequate to provide reasonable assurance of short-term fire protection water system pressure boundary integrity. Adequacy of structural integrity was reasoned to provide adequate assurance that a large-scale leak would not occur, pending replacement of the affected piping segments. This is consistent with experience regarding subsequent leaks from other piping segments that had been deemed acceptable for structural integrity following discovery of leaks.

• Going forward, any leaking fire protection I city water pipe segments will be promptly repaired (e.g., installation of leak repair clamp), while also .entering the condition into the work control process to effect replacement of the impacted segment(s). Calculational projections of future structural integrity of piping segments, based on assumed rates, will continue to be completed, but these results will not be used as the sole means of determining the need and timing of piping segment replacement. The basis for

NL-17-052 Docket Nos. 50-24 7 and 50-286 Attachment 1 Page 4of16.

acceptance criteria and enhanced corrective action include a focus on identifying indications of selective seam corrosion (as previously experienced), which is the limiting case capable of presenting a large corrosion-induced piping leak, potentially requiring a relatively broad-scope system isolation to enable repair.

During the first quarter of 2017, IPEC completed a focused refurbishment project addressing fire protection piping system integrity. This project replaced those segments of the fire protection piping that had exhibited the most significant corrosion and recurrent leakage. These piping segments were typically legacy piping, that is, Unit 1 piping manufactured prior to 1970 using electric resistance and flash welding techniques resulting in a longitudinal seam weld susceptible to selective seam corrosion.

With implementation of the refurbishment project and enhanced corrective actions, there is reasonable assurance that any leaks that may be experienced be limited to a nuisance level of water diversion.

Request

b. State the basis for why piping segments with multiple leaks or degraded areas are acceptable to be returned to service.

Response

Any leaks are evaluated and repaired, prior to returning the affected piping segment to service. An activity is concurrently entered into the IPEC 12-week work schedule for replacement of the affected piping. The leak repair and affected piping segment evaluations provide reasonable assurance of ongoing fire protection piping integrity, pending replacement of the degraded piping segment.

Request

c. Alternatively, propose additional acceptance criteria and corrective actions, and the basis for these changes, sufficient to provide reasonable

• assurance that the fire protection-water system and city water system will meet their intended function(s) and not impact the intended function of a safety-related component or system.

Response

As discussed in the response to Question 2(a), the most significantly impacted legacy (Unit 1) piping sections have been replaced. Going forward, the following acceptance criteria and corrective actions will apply to the fire protection and city water piping systems:

• If routine inspections identify evidence of selective seam corrosion, IPEC will replace the affected piping segment on an accelerated schedule within the 12-week work schedule. Based on the enhanced inspection schedule and improved understanding of the failure mechanism, and the growth rate, this approach is considered adequate to provide reasonable assurance of sustained piping integrity, pending the accelerated replacement.

J

l!

NL-17-052 Docket Nos. 50-247 and 50-286 Attachment 1 Page 5 of 16

• Any discovered leaks that are not indicative of a pattern suggesting selective seam corrosion will be cause for entry of the affected piping segment(s) into the 12-week work schedule, for timely replacement. Interim repairs (clamps/patches) will be applied as necessary to ensure pressure boundary integrity and eliminate nuisance water runoff.

In summary, going forward, the results of UT inspections that support a conclusion of adequate structural integrity on piping segments that exhibit significant corrosion or leaks will not be used as the sole basis for maintaining the affected piping in service for an indefinite time. Rather, work order(s) addressing such affected piping segments will be processed through the work control system, to provide assurance of timely piping replacement.

RAI 3.0.3-9b

Background

1. The response to RAI 3.0.3-9 dated December 2, 2016, states that wall thickness measurements will be conducted on the fire protection-water system and city water systems "until recurring internal corrosion has subsided."

2. The response to RAI 3.0.3-9 dated December 2, 2016, states, "[i]n addition, Entergy will revise the IPEC Fire Water System Program procedures to specify that when individual piping segments are found with multiple leaks or degraded areas that align to indicate selective seam corrosion, then corrective action will be taken to replace the affected piping segment."

3. The response to RAI 3.0.3-9 dated December 2, 2016, states that the Periodic Surveillance and Preventive Maintenance Program will be revised to include periodic internal visual or ultrasonic wall thickness measurements.

Issue

1. The term "until RIC has subsided" as used in association with conducting wall thickness measurements is undefined .. LR-ISG-2012-02, Section 3.3.2.2.8, "Loss of material due to Recurring Internal Corrosion," defines RIC as, "if the search of plant-specific operating experience (OE) reveals repetitive occurrences (e.g., one per refueling outage cycle that has occurred over: (a) three or more sequential or nonsequential cycles for a 10-year OE search, or (b) two or more sequential or nonsequential cycles for a 5-year OE search) of aging effects with the same aging mechanism in which the aging effect resulted in the component either not meeting plant-specific acceptance criteria or experiencing a reduction in wall thickness greater than 50 percent (regardless of the minimum wall thickness)." It is not clear how "subsided" would be integrated with the criteria in LR-ISG-2012-02.

2. In regard to replacing piping segments that are found with multiple leaks or degraded areas that align to indicate selective seam corrosion, the changes to the program and updated final safety analysis report (UFSAR) supplement do not specify the timing of the replacement.

3. It is not clear to the staff how internal visual inspections conducted for the Periodic Surveillance and Preventive Maintenance Program will be capable of quantifying wall loss.

NL-17-052 Docket Nos. 50-24 7 and 50-286 Attachment 1 Page 6 of 16 Request

1. State the basis for using the term "until RIC has subsided."

Response

The phrase "until RIC has subsided" was intended to mean until the frequency of occurrence of piping leaks and significant wall thinning no longer meets the criteria for characterization as "recurring internal corrosion" as defined in LR-ISG-2012-02; NUREG-1801,Section IX.F). The frequency will be assessed on a rolling five-year period. The use of the term "subsided" reflects a reduction in occurrences to a frequency below the threshold for classification as "RIC."

Request

2. State the maximum time from discovery until when piping segments that are found with multiple leaks or degraded areas, that align to indicate selective seam corrosion, will be replaced.

/

Response

Any piping that develops multiple leaks, including indications of selective seam corrosion, will be entered into the corrective action program, and into the work control system for accelerated replacement, consistent with the severity of the identified condition. The maximum time from discovery until the piping is replaced will be 12 weeks unless unforeseen circumstance.s necessitate additional time. Localized piping replacement can be implemented within as little as several days. Replacement of entire piping segments, if warranted, may require most of the standard 12-week work management schedule.

Request

3. State the basis for how internal visual inspections will be able to quantify wall loss.

Response

Visual inspections provide a qualitative basis to determine the need for subsequent UT wall thickness measurements. Visual inspections also provide an effective means of identifying selective seam corrosion (observation of uniform alignment of multiple small corrosion sites).

Visual inspections will enable the identification of piping segment failure candidates, to enable the scheduling of replacement of such segments prior to development of aggregate degradation leading to failure of the affected segment(s).

RAI 3.0.3-10-1 a

Background

In its response dated December 2, 2016, for Request 1, Indian Point Energy Center (IPEC) stated that its OE reviews identified instances similar to the condition described in LER 286/2002-001 and noted that the "corrosion at the crevice of the cement lining on the carbon

NL-17-052 Docket Nos. 50-24 7 and 50-286 Attachment 1 Page 7 of 16 steel piping welds has occurred and in some cases has resulted in a loss of intended function

[emphasis added]." The response also states that a key element of the Service Water Integrity (SWI) program is the use of predictive monitoring. It also notes that IPEC personnel conduct an ongoing program of volumetric non-destructive examination (NOE) of service water welds to "ensure welds are repaired or re-inspected, thereby ensuring structural integrity is maintained and no loss of function occurs during the predicted remaining service life [emphasis added]."

The staff is concerned about IP's predictive monitoring methodology as it relates to identifying areas of concern with nondest~uctive examination (NOE) and predicting the remaining service life of the welds in cement-lined piping. See IPEC relief request 3-43 for illustrative example of issues.

Although IPEC's recent response discusses additional inspections if degraded conditions are found, the response did not discuss what programmatic actions will be taken if any additional loss of intended function is identified. Loss of intended function has occurred in the past and it is unclear whether any consequent changes were made to the program.

Request

1. For each of the examples identified during IPEC's OE search, where loss of intended function occurred (or where the predictive monitoring methodology did not prevent a loss of structural integrity for the predicted remaining service life), discuss any changes made to the SWI program's predictive monitoring process. Include any changes to either the NOE process for identifying areas of interest, or to the methodology for predicting the remaining service life of welds in the cement-lined piping that address the apparent causes for these failures of the SWI program.

Response

Entergy has reviewed losses of function from 2002 to the present as outlined in Licensee Event Reports for IPEC. The relevant LERs and a brief event description are listed in the table below.

The notes in the discussion column refer to paragraphs following the table that include discussion of the cause and corrective actions for each event.

Notes:

1. The root cause evaluation concluded that the cause of this leak was long-term crevice corrosion at the weld joint, possibly exacerbated by a poor quality weld. Structural calculations concluded that the piping at the leak location did not meet code requirements and the piping was therefore, declared inoperable. As documented in the 2002 root cause report, a review of operating experience identified a number of leaks on the system from 1997 to 2002, none of which failed to meet operability criteria. The leak that was the subject of this LER was therefore judged unique because of its impact on structural operability. NOE indicated that a similar weld on the redundant header was satisfactory. Activities to inspect an additional 4 welds were added to the next outage scope. No changes were made to the SWI predictive modelling process other than the increased number of inspections.

2. The cause of this event was corrosion of a weld following a less than adequate repair.

The Service Water Integrity Program was updated after this event to add additional lines for inspection and to inspect non-safety-related piping within the scope of license renewal with the same priority as safety-related piping for the future program inspections. This program update was completed in 2011. In addition, guidelines were developed for work planning so that future repairs would be performed properly.

3. The piping was declared inoperable because of an inability to accurately characterize degradation associated with the affected socket weld fittings. The cause of the pin-hole leaks in this event was improper material use in the service water piping. In addition, poor prioritization of a project to replace the piping contributed to the event. Because the cause of this event was not attributed to a deficiency in the Service Water Integrity Program, no program changes were made to the SWI predictive modelling process.

NL-17-052 Docket Nos. 50-247 and 50-286 Attachment 1 Page 9 of 16

4. The cause of this socket weld leak was stagnant conditions in unlined carbon steel piping. As delineated in Entergy letter NL-16-122, dated December 2, 2016, Entergy will revise the program to establish recurring internal corrosion goals for stagnant vent and drain connection piping. If these recurring internal corrosion goals are not met, Entergy will increase the frequency for flushing the affected stagnant vent and drain connection piping. The program document will be revised to reflect this enhancement by December 31,2017.

5. The cause was piping flow rates higher than necessary leading to flow-accelerated corrosion at the weld joint. The corrective action was to reduce the flow in the piping.

Because these issues did not involve deficiencies in the Service Water Integrity Program, the program was not revised. Corrective actions included adjusting system flow rates to lower the velocity in the affected piping.

6. The cause and corrective actions are the same as for the issue described in Note 5.

7. The most probable I cause of this event is improper weld filler metal selection leading to pitting and crevice corrosion. The leaking elbow was recently cut out and sent for failure analysis. Once the cause is confirmed, additional corrective actions will be assigned as appropriate.

8. The cause of this eve~t was inadequate procedural guidance for inspection of newly installed internal pipe coating resulting in a small defect in the internal coating of the piping elbow. The coating defect allowed brackish water to contact the carbon steel elbow and the subsequent corrosion led to the leak in the elbow. The elbow was removed, repaired and re-coated. Corrective actions include inspecting similar elbows in future outages, revising the maintenance procedure for the application and post-application inspection of epoxy coating, revising the SWIP to require internal inspections whenever the elbows are removed for maintenance, and updating the engineering training program for the SWIP qualification card regarding coating and lining inspections of fan cooler piping.

In addition to the LER's listed in the above table, the issue related to relief request RR 3-43 is important to discuss. The relief request was related to a minor leak identified in September 2007 on a service water supply line for the IP3 containment fan cooler units. The degraded piping met the requirements of Code Case 513-1, however the projected corrosion rate did not support continued structural integrity for the remainder of the operating cycle. Relief was requested to allow a non-standard repair that would assure structural integrity for the remainder of the operating cycle. The system did not experience a loss of function and therefore the issue did not involve an LER.

A contributing cause to the September 2007 leak was a less than adequate repair of a previous leak. Maintenance personnel did not adequately restore a protective coating over the repair to prevent corrosion due to brackish raw water. Although only recently implemented, a program improvement to prevent recurrence of events related to inadequate repairs was development of engineering report IP-RPT-16-00046, IPEC Service Water Piping Weld Repair Process and Re-inspection Frequency Guidelines. The report provides Engineering guidelines to allow for consistent repairs to IPEC service water piping welds.

NL-17-052 Docket Nos. 50-247 and 50-286 Attachment 1 Page 10of16

(

The details include repair process guidelines for leaks or pipe wall thinning found during Service Water Integrity Program inspections. It includes direction and guidance for evaluating the NOE data and information to characterize the defect. The guidelines include gridding standards for the UT inspections instructions to obtain additional UT data if needed to evaluate the defect.

The report provides formal re-inspectio'n guidelines when welds are repaired. A formula is presented for standardized approaches for determining the next inspection interval. The report covers different weld configurations and repair techniques such as full penetration or partial penetration welds, grind-out and wall restorations, and overlays.

Request

2. If changes were not made in response to any of the examples identified above, provide justification for the lack of changes to the predictive monitoring methodology to demonstrate that the effects of aging will be adequately managed so that the intended functions will be maintained. Also discuss how you are consistent with LRA Sections B.0.4, A.2.1, and A.3.1, as clarified in RAI responses dated July 14, 2011, and July 27, 2011, regarding appropriate program enhancements for past program failures if additional age-related losses of intended function occur in components managed by the SWI program.

Response

As discussed in the response to Request 1, corrective actions were taken in response to the identified events resulting in a loss of intended function. The causes of some events were not related to the Service Water Integrity Program. Therefore, the appropriate corrective actions do not necessarily involve changes to the program. Many program improvements have been implemented over time based on feedback from operating experience, the corrective action program and self-assessment activities. The following recent program inspection results are a positive indication Qf program effectiveness.

In the most recent inspection period 3R19P (pre-outage) and 3R19 for Unit 3 in Februar}r and March of 2017, 50 service water system piping welds were examined by volumetric NOE methods. Thirty of the welds selected for examination were previously uninspected and 20 were follow-ups to previous exams. All 50 welds were found operable.

Regarding the 30 previously uninspected welds, two of those welds were code repaired even though they were operable. One of the welds was evaluated using ASME code case N-513-3 and 5 additional welds were inspected as a result (refer to CR IP3-2017-856). The program uses engineering report IP-RPT-16-00046, IPEC Service Water Piping Weld Repair Process and Re-inspection Frequency Guidelines and engineering procedure EN-CS-S-008-MULTl to calculate remaining service life of the inspected welds. There were 4 previously uninspected welds that were found to require follow up exams in future outage periods due to minor degradation.

Regarding the follow-up exams, 20 were performed in this inspection period. All 20 were found operable; however, it was decided to repair one of the welds because of its limited predicted remaining service life.

• NL-17-052 Docket Nos. 50-247 and 50-286 Attachment 1 Page 11 of 16 The response to Request 1 above includes examples of program changes made in response to operating experience. The operating experience review and corrective action programs will continue through the period of extended operation to improve performance of the Service Water Integrity Program as indicated in LRA Sections 8.0.4, A.2.1, and A.3.1, as clarified in RAI responses dated July 14, 2011, and July 27, 2011.

RAI 3.0.3-10-2a

Background

The response to Request 2 states that the majority of the service water system leaks have been minor and do not result in a leak rate large enough to cause a loss of the system's intended function. This statement indicates that apparently there have been multiple instances where an excessive leak rate caused a loss of intended function in the past. During its onsite audit and review of past operating experience, the staff noted that several leaks resulted in more than minor leak rates (i.e., CR-IP3-2008-1318, CR-IP2-2013-1252, CR-IP2-2015-3744, and EN 52388) with leak rates between 1 gallon per minute and 15 gallons per minute. In addition, the staff notes Relief Request (RR) IP3-ISl-RR-10 which states that service water piping to a fan cooler unit must be isolated when an allowable leakage is exceeded and cites a Technical Specification 5.5.15 allowable leakage of 0.36 gallons per minute.

The leak associated with LER 286/2011-003 demonstrates that leak rates less than that associated with a strict pressure boundary intended function (i.e., adequate flow and pressure) can cause an alternate loss of intended function due to spatial interaction effects of the leak in specific situations. So, in addition to loss of structural integritY,, some consideration must be given to the magnitude of a leak for determining the program's' effectiveness to prevent a loss of intended function. Although the SWI program does.not need to prevent all leakage, it needs to prevent leak rates that could cause a loss of intended function. It is unclear to the staff if the predictive methodology in the SWI program includes measures to ensure leak rates do not exceed some acceptance limit as an indication of a program failure.

'

In addition, it is not clear whether there would be different acceptance limits for the portions of the service water system in different parts of the plant. If different acceptance limits are applicable (inside containment/outside containment, safety-related/nonsafety-related), then it is unclear if the SWI program manages aging differently for each of the various portions of the service water system to ensure the leak rates are not exceeded for each applicable part of the plant. As noted in SRP-LR Section 1.2.3.10, a past failure would not necessarily invalidate an ,

Aging Management Program (AMP) because the feedback from operating experience* should have resulted in appropriate program enhancements [emphasis added] or new programs.

Request

1. For any past operating experience alluded to in the RAI response (where the leak rate was large enough to cause a loss of function), describe the circumstances for each occurrence and provide any changes that have been or will be made to SWI program activities to ensure future loss of intended function due to large leak rates will not occur.

NL-17-052 Docket Nos. 50-247 and 50-286 Attachment 1 Page 12 of 16

Response

IPEC has reviewed all Licensee Event Reports submitted between 2004 and 2016, to identify events involving loss of function due to a high service water system leak rate. There was a Licensee Event Report (LER) written for a loss of safety function due to excessive leakage, namely LER 286/2011-003 involving a large leak in a service water valve pit. Corrective actions have been undertaken since that event.

'

Other leaks that resulted in a loss of function include leaks in the service water system inside the vapor containment buildings at each unit (ref. CR-IP2-2015-03550, CR-IP2-2015-05755, CR-IP2-2016-06934/07271 & CR-IP3-2016-03607) where IPEC Technical Specification provide strict leakage limits of 0.36 gpm. However, such leaks are isolable and can be mitigated on-line by isolating the individual components. Technical Specifications allow isolation of service water to fan cooler units (FCU) for brief periods of time. If repairs are not completed within the allowed outage time," a station shut down would be required.

Specific issues at Unit 2 (CR-IP2-2015-03550 & CR-IP2-2015-05755) involved two different leaks on the SW return piping from the 24 and 21 fan cooler unit motor coolers within containment. Two formal apparent cause evaluations were performed and corrective actions undertaken. The direct cause identified for both leaks was flow-accelerated corrosion (FAC).

The corrective actions from the apparent cause evaluations included reducing the flow rate through this piping.

Another issue at Unit 2 (CR-IP2-2016-06934/07271) involved a leak in an elbow in the SW supply to the 24 fan cooler unit main cooling coils within containment. A formal root cause evaluation was performed and corrective actions undertaken. The direct cause identified was a failure of interior coating allowing brackish river water to corrode the carbon steel pipe fitting.

The corrective actions for this event included revising SWIP documents to include a requirement to conduct a visual inspection of the internal lining of all 3" FCU piping spool pieces, when removed, to be performed during future FCU cooling coil preventive maintenance activities during refueling outages. [CR-IP2-2016-07271 CA-00010].

A specific issue at Unit 3 (CR-IP3-2016-03607) involved a leak in the 31 fan cooler unit main cooling coil return piping within containment. A formal root cause evaluation was performed and corrective actions undertaken. Based upon the information available to date, a failure analysis will need to be performed on the section of pipe after it is removed. Upon completion of the failure analysis, the cause evaluation will be completed appropriate corrective actions will be promulgated. These corrective actions could include revisions to the SWIP.

When applying ASME Code Case N-513-3 for operability evaluation, an extent of condition (EOC) evaluation is performed for all code class piping leaks. This is performed regardless of leakage rate and regardless of whether there was an associated loss of intended function. This*

evaluation helps ensure similar susceptible locations are not degraded. Results of inspections performed for EOC evaluations are inputs into the selection of locations for the programmatic volumetric examination campaigns conducted at each unit during each operating cycle.

In previous RAI responses, enhancements were proposed regarding future inspections and priority of inspections in locations where leak rates could affect functionality. In addition, the

NL-17-052 Docket Nos. 50-247 and 50-286 Attachment 1 Page 13of16 program was changed in 2011 to increase the priority of inspections in non-safety portions of the service water system in areas such as the valve pit.

'-

Request

2. Provide the allowable leak rate limit and its bases, which the SWI program will use to determine whether aging is being adequately managed to prevent a loss of intended function. If different allowable leak rates will be used for different portions of the plant, provide the bases for each limit and address how aging will be managed differently in each portion of the plant.

Response

All service water piping leaks require a condition report and work order for repair. The condition report requires an evaluation to determine the system operability including evaluation of leakage rates against allowable values, such as those established for flooding concerns. Design basis allowable leak rates are considered in evaluating whether a leak results in a loss of intended function.

1 The Service Water Integrity Program will use the design basis allowable leak rates to prioritize future inspections. Different areas in the plant and different parts of the service water system have different allowable leak rates (e:g., IPEC Technical Specifications provide strict leakage limits of 0.36 gpm. Based on allowable leak rates, the program will prioritize inspections such that piping with more restrictive leakage rate limits will receive a higher percentage of inspections. The plant Technical Specifications and FSAR will be used to determine allowable leakage rates. This enhancement ")fill be implemented by December 31, 2018.

IPEC will review the SW system to identify areas where leakage from non-safety related SW piping could result in unacceptable flooding. The SWI Program will be reviewed to verify that non-safety related piping, in locations subject to flooding concerns, is clearly identified in the program document. It was stated in the IPEC letter NL-16-122, dated December 2, 2016, the SWI Program will be revised to specify volumetric examination of at least 20 percent of (up to a maximum of 25) non-safety related welds located in areas subject to flooding of safety-related equipment within each 10-year period of the PEO. This enhancement will be implemented by December 31, 2017.

RAI 3.0.3-10-6a

Background

Based on information in RR 3-43 (2007) and RR IP3-008 (2013), IPEC determined that the average corrosion rate for the weld joints in the cement-lined piping was 0.012 inches per year.

Based on the average corrosion rate cited by IPEC, the staff is concerned about the overall structural integrity of the service water system piping. The performance of additional inspections in response to a leak does not appear to address the broader structural integrity issue of the ongoing corrosion in the service water system. Since some large diameter service

NL-17-052 Docket Nos. 50-247 and 50-286 Attachment 1 Page 14of16 water piping has a nominal wall thickness of 0.375 inches, with a corrosion rate of 0.012 inches per year it is unclear how piping code minimum wall thickness will be met based on the current years of operation. Although the cited corrosion rate is an average value, there are situations where the corrosion rate will be greater. Unless every pipe weld has been restored to a nominal value through ongoing maintenance activities, aging management does not seem adequate.

Request

1. Discuss how the average corrosion rate of 0.012 inches per year was developed.

Response

The IPEC average corrosion rate of 0.012 inches per year cited in the RAI background discussion is a reference value used in structural calculations to estimate the expected remaining life of a weld if it is found degraded. The rate is based on a weld for which the concrete lining inside the pipe provides no protection from the raw water in the pipe. The 0.012 inch per year was developed by design structural engineers as they evaluated as-found conditions of the service water system. The value was determined in the 2006 time frame by assuming that leaks had taken about 31 years to develop (IP3 began operation in 1975). The nominal 0.375" wall thickness common to much of the large-bore service water piping was divided by 31 years to yield an estimated rate of 0.012 inches per year. This value is also used at IP2 due to its similar piping design. -

Request

2. Explain how the SWI program assures intended functions are maintained for any in-scope weld that has not been inspected within the timeframe where the average corrosion rate could reduce the wall thickness to a value less than that needed for structural integrity.

Response

As discussed in response to Request 1, the value of 0.012 inches per year is an average over time at a specific location, typically leading to a pinhole leak; it is not a system-wide average over general areas. Significant corrosion only occurs where the protective lining inside the piping is breached leading to exposure of the weld to raw water. Through-wall corrosion typically occurs at a limited arc around the circumference of the pipe at a weld. Characterization of leaking piping commonly shows that structural integrity is maintained.

A sample of system welds are inspected each cycle. A large number of inspect,ions have been performed over the previous 20 years. Results of the most recent inspections are provided in the response to Request 2 of RAI 3.0.3-10-1 a.

Entergy will enhance the program to specifically sample a minimum number of system welds each operating cycle as delineated in Entergy letter NL-16-122, dated December 2, 2016. In addition, if degraded conditions are found, additional inspections will be 11>erformed. This will provide reasonable assurance that intended functions are maintained for in-scope welds that have not been inspected within the timeframe where the average corrosion rate could reduce the wall thickness to a value less than that needed for structural integrity.

NL-17-052 Docket Nos. 50-247 and 50-286 Attachment 1 Page 15of16 RAI 3.0.3-10-7a

Background

The RAI response dated December 2, 2016, states "Entergy has identified no past SW system through-wall leak~ge issues at either IP2 or IP3 that have not been evaluated under the Corrective Action Program," and identifies the need to revise procedures as one aspect for implementing the enhancement. The staff notes that the response moved up the implementation date of the previous enhancements from December 31, 2019, to December 31, 2017.

Based on the response, when combined with Management (CRG) request in CR-IP3-2009-1929, it is unclear to the staff whether any reviews were conducted of the work order system or other corrective maintenance processes to identify whether there were other instances, comparable to CR-IP3-2009-1929, where a condition report had not been initiated for service water system leaks.

The current response now shows the implementation of the enhancements in IPEC letter NL-14-147 as December 2017 whereas prior correspondence showed December 2019. The staff is unsure if IPEC intended to make this change.

Request

1. State whether work orders or other corrective maintenance processes were reviewed to confirm that all service water leaks have been captured and evaluated through the corrective action program. If reviews of work orders or other corrective maintenance processes were not conducted as the basis of the response, provide the bases for confidence that the causes of all past leakage that resulted in a loss of inter:ided function have been addressed by the current program.

• Response Station work orders and other corrective maintenance documents were not specifically searched when conducting the site operating experience (OE) review. The station condition report (CR) database was searched to gather the OE data. This was considered acceptable because the Corrective Action Program requires a CR to be written for a leak in service water system piping.

Historically, station work requests were reviewed by a team of individuals from various work groups such as operations, work management, engineering, and maintenance. These \

individuals were knowledgeable enough to recognize potential operability or reportability issues when reviewing work orders. Their knowledge, training and experience provide a high level of confidence that CR's would have been written for conditions identified in work orders that affected operability such as service water piping leaks. Therefore, there is a high likelihood that the OE search was effective.

In addition, for the time period of 2004-2014 inclusive, a review of CR's was performed to determine the number of CRG-requested CR's. The term "CRG request" was found in 115 CR's

NL-17-052 Docket Nos. 50-247 and 50-286 Attachment 1 Page 16of16 out of the total of 119,200 written during that time period. That number represents less than 0.01 % of the total. With over 99.99% of the CR's generated without prompting by the CRG, there is high confidence that the OE search was effective.

Request

2. Confirm the implementation date for the enhancemept discussed in IPEC letter NL 147. Since the enhancement is not scheduled to be completed for many months, provide interim actions that will provide assurance that all service water system leaks will be captured and evaluated through the corrective action program, or provide the bases for not needing any interim actions.

Response

The implementation date for the enhancement discussed in IPEC letter NL 14-147 was intentionally changed to December 2017. The established single-entry process for work order generation at IPEC requires condition report initiation for all corrective maintenance work requests. This process, effective September 2014, ensures all corrective maintenance issues are documented in the corrective action program. This provides confidence that relevant corrective maintenance will be identified during OE reviews using the corrective action program database. Even though the work management system includes these provisions to ensure

.corrective maintenance activities are entered into the corrective action program, the subject enhancement was proposed for the Service Water Integrity Program to provide further assurance that all servite water leaks are evaluated in the corrective action program. Because of the above feature of the single-entry work order generation process, it is acceptable for the enhancement to be completed by the end of 2017.

1. COMMITMENT IMPLEMENTATION SOURCE RELATED SCHEDULE LRA SECTION I AUDIT ITEM NL-11-032 N/A 42 IPEC will develop a plan for each unit to address the potential for cracking of the primary to secondary pressure boundary due to PWSCC of tube-to-tubesheet welds using one of the following two options.

Option 1 (Analysis)

IPEC will perform an analytical evaluation of the steam generator tube-to-tubesheet welds in order to IP2: Complete NL-11-074 establish a technical basis for either determining that the tubesheet cladding and welds are not susceptible IP3: Complete NL-11-090

• to PWSCC, or redefining the pressure boundary in which the tube-to-tubesheet weld is no longer NL-11-096 included and, therefore, is not required for reactor coolant pressure boundary function. The redefinition IP2: NL-17-005 Not Applicable '

of the reactor coolant pressure boundary must be I approved by the NRC as a license amendment request.

• IP3: Not App!icable

-

I Option 2 (Inspection)

IPEC will perform a one-time inspection of a representative number of tube-to-tubesheet welds in each steam generator to determine if PWSCC cracking is present. If weld cracking is identified:

,

a. The condition will be resolved through repair or engineering evaluation to justify continued service, as appropriate, and

b. An ongoing monitoring program will be established to perform routine tube-to-tubesheet weld inspections for the remaining life of the steam i:ienerators.
